Ammon News - US voters will decide on their 47th president on Tuesday, opting between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, following a campaign marked by various events and tensions.

At 6 a.m. local time on the US East Coast (11:00 GMT), polls will start allowing millions of voters to contribute their votes to over 80 million ballots already submitted through early voting or mail.

Determining the winner between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, 60, and former Republican President Donald Trump, 78, is uncertain as the outcome could either be a few hours or several days, given their contrasting personalities and political perspectives.

This has the potential to be one of the most tightly contested elections ever. "The Democratic candidate emphasized the importance of each vote on Monday night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, shortly before polls were set to open."

On Tuesday in Michigan, Trump promised to "take the United States and the world" to "new levels of success."

Intense rivalry

No matter who emerges victorious, the result will be like none other.
On Tuesday, American voters will select their 47th president from Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, after a campaign filled with events and tensions.

At 6 a.m. local time on the US East Coast (11:00 GMT), polling stations will start welcoming voters who will contribute their votes to the over 80 million ballots already submitted through early voting or mail.

Determining the winner, either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, is uncertain as it could happen in hours or days due to their contrasting personalities and political views.

This has the potential to be one of the most tightly contested elections ever. "The Democratic candidate emphasized the importance of every vote Monday night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, shortly before polls opened."

On Tuesday in Michigan, Trump promised to "guide the United States and the world" to "new levels of success."

Intense rivalry

Regardless of who emerges victorious, the result will be like nothing seen before.

Either the first female president will be elected by Americans or a populistic candidate with criminal charges and legal proceedings, whose first term from 2017 to 2021 brought many challenges to the nation and the globe, will take office.

Recent polls indicate a virtual deadlock between the candidates in key states that could provide enough electoral votes for either the Democratic or Republican nominee to secure the 270 votes necessary for victory in the Electoral College.

Harris, born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, will hold her election night event at Howard University in Washington, a historically black institution where she pursued her postgraduate studies.


Donald Trump will be in Palm Beach, Florida, where he lives.

Drones as well as sharpshooters.

This marks the end of the election campaign, marked by ups and downs, especially the two assassination attempts on Trump and the unexpected exit of Joe Biden, replaced by Kamala Harris.

Anticipation extends beyond the elections to what follows, with Trump already casting doubt on the vote's integrity.

Both sides have already been involved in numerous legal battles, with one-third of Americans worrying about potential violence and protests post-election.

Certain polling stations have been enclosed by rigorous security protocols, including drone monitoring and rooftop sniper presence.

Election workers have received training that specifically covered techniques for barricading themselves in a hall or using fire extinguishers to defend against possible attackers.

Washington, Nevada, and Oregon have activated the National Guard reserve as a preventive measure in case of emergency. In Georgia, election workers have been provided with alarm buttons for quickly alerting authorities if they are in danger.

In the federal capital, Washington, iron barriers were erected around the White House, the Capitol building and other sensitive sites. A large number of shops in the city center put up wooden boards to protect the facades.

The scenes and images of January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters attacked the US Congress headquarters to prevent the certification of the results are still fresh in the minds.
